A wonderful jungle-themed map, looks really
nice and smooth. The scrolling sky effect
is actually used WELL in this level, with
the illusion that it’s real. It has
virtually no slowdown on my computer, because
of it’s small size.
Although nice for Tourneys, this level is
very small for DM play and as a result games
up to even 30 frags can end in about 20
minutes. This is one of those levels that
IS fun to play on, but the small size limits
the longevity or replay value of the map
(like Q3DM1 or basically ANY Unreal Tournament
map :) ).
Anyone who doesn’t constantly run
from danger or hide from it could probably
have a bit of fun on this map. But still,
the size of the map will help this one to
become boring extremely fast.
Apparently the bots are also affected in
someways by the small size of the map. They
tend to gang up on the player, even in Standard
DM mode, rather than fight each other, so
in a small map like this, with 4 or more
bots on Hardcore, you will find yourself
quite frusturated, because as soon as you
teleport in after death, you’re more
than likely going to be hit with a stray
rail shot from a bot.
This is where I think the level shines.
Your typical newbie doesn’t like to
or even know how to turn around and shoot
at an opponent. With this level, because
of the small size, there’s really
no need to do so. The newbie can back himself
into a corner with a railgun and a few slugs,
and doesn’t even have to aim much
to hit a player if the map is loaded. So
if you’re a newbie and want to win
against your newbie buddies, download the
map.
Basically, unless you like to look at maps,
or you’re a newbie, you probably wouldn’t
like this map for that long before you said
“THIS IS TOO FRAGGIN SMALL”.
But hey there are lots of Qwebs among us,
so for all of you, dig in.
